He is right. Progress lines should never take their
time from the headline, always only from the triggering line.

This commit adds a new option
`org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry'. When set
to t, an entry that has multiple active time stamps will get
multiple lines in the agenda.
If the trigger for a log mode entry in the agenda has notes, for
example a note associated with a state change or with a clock entry,
the first line of the notes will now be added to the logbook entry.
You can turn this off the with new variable
`org-agenda-log-mode-add-notes'.
During secondary agenda filtering, pressing "?" now will install a
filter that selects entries which do not have an effort defined.
This new model was necessary because we needed to stop interpreting
entries with no effort defines as 0 effort. This was inconsistent,
because for normal agenda sorting, the treatment of these entries
depends on the variable `org-sort-agenda-noeffort-is-high'. Now this
variable is also respected during filtering.
The new variable `org-agenda-cmp-user-defined' can contain a function
to test how two entries should be compared during sorting.
user-defined-up and user-defined-down can then be part of any sorting
strategy.
The new variable `org-agenda-search-headline-for-time' also turned off
time searching for diary items as an unwanted side-effect. This
commit makes sure that diary entries are always parsed for a time.

This is indeed a bug. The all to `org-get-tags-at' does change the
match data if there is a match for the inheritance regexp. This
problem is now avoided by first extracting (match-string 1), and then
getting the tags.
Studying this bug also exposed another one, namely that file tags are
not marked as inherited tags. This is now fixed, immediately when
the #+FILETAGS line is parsed.
Items are listed in the agenda sometimes in bright colors, to draw
attention to important tasks or deadlines. When such an item is
switched to DONE, the state change is reflected by the new TODO
keyword, but the line itself might still be bright. Org de-emphasizes
the line by changing the face of the line. It used to change it to
the face `org-done', but now we use a new, independent face
`org-agenda-done'.
This commit implements an important change: When, during a
stuck-project search, a project tree is identified as not stuck, so
far the search would continue after the end of the project tree. From
now on, the search continues in the subtree, so that stuck subprojects
can still be identified.

Why not, C-c C-x C-w is a fine idea for this. It should now work.

This is in fact how changing time works in many applications, and
it does make sense here as well. The commits implements this
change.
It also implements a way to change the start time of an entry from
the agenda. The date is normally changed with S-right/left.
Now, if you add a C-u prefix, the hour will be changed. If you
immediately press S-right/left again, hours will continue to be
changed.
A double prefix will do the same for minutes.
Custom commands can now bind `org-agenda-filter-preset'. This filter
will then be present in the agenda view and persist through refresh
and further filtering. Only a new agenda command will remove the
filter again.
The variable org-priority-faces can now be used to set special faces
for different priority cookies.
Also, in the agenda, the default is now to fontify only the priority
cookie, not the entire task. See the variable
`org-agenda-fontify-priorities'.
Before this patch, org-agenda-quit would delete the agenda window if
the frame had more than one window. This patch changes that behavior
slightly so that if org-agenda-window-setup is 'current-window, the
agenda window won't be deleted.
A new hook is introduced, `org-agenda-before-write-hook'.
A function that ca be added to this hook is
`org-agenda-add-entry-text'. When this is done, each of the entries
shown in the agenda is amended with text that in the original buffer
is part of the entry text below the headline. Drawers are not copied,
and also the line with scheduling and deadline information is not
used. Finally, the number of ines to be added is imited by
`org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines'.
If the headline contains a time-of-day in one format or another, it
will be used to sort the entry into the time sequence of items for a
day. Some people have time stamps in the headline that refer to the
creation time or so, and then this produces an unwanted side effect.
If this is the case for your, use the new option
`org-agenda-search-headline-for-time' to turn off searching the
headline for a time.

I agree with this view and the commit implements exactly this.
The variables `org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines' and
`org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date, and
`org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options' are now all mentioned in
the docs.
The commands org-agenda-show can now be used to show varying degrees of
context when called with a prefix argument. `0 SPC', `1 SPC', ... `4
SPC'.
The new command `org-agenda-cycle-show' shows different amounts of
context when called several times in succession.
Christopher Suckling reports that todo state sorting doe not work in
block agenda. The reason for this that the variable
`org-todo-keywords-for-agenda' which is supposed to be a lost of all
keywords of all buffers contributing to the agenda, is not correct
during the construction of a block agenda.
Therefore, this commit instructs the todo state comparison function to
refer back to the original buffer for a list of todo keywords.
When org-depend.el is loaded, running the blocker hook will already
toggle a tag. However, when dimming the agenda, we do not want that.
